He could travel in the space like Durvasa, Narada and others and used to visit all the planets of the universe. Before the battle of Kurukshetra, he was one of them who tried to stop the battle. Sometimes he instructed Bharadwaja Muni about the astronomical evolution and he is the author of the great Bhrigusamhita, the astrological calculation. He explained how air, fire, water and earth generated from ether. He explained how the air in the stomach works and regulates the intestines. As a great philosopher he established with logical conclusion about the eternity of the living entity.

His father was killed by a demon Kalmaspada and to revenge this he wanted to annihilate the whole world when he heard the death news of his father by his mother. He was however restrained by his grand father Vasista. He then performed a Rakshas killing yajna but Maharshi Pulasta restrained him.

Although he was Kshatriya by birth still he became a Brahmin in the very same body by the power of his spiritual achievements. He picked up a quarrel with Vasista Muni when he was a Kshatirya king and performed a great sacrifice in co-operation with Matanga Muni and thus was able to vanish the sons of Vasista. He became a great Yogi and yet he failed to check up his senses and thus was obliged to become the father of Sakuntala the beauty queen of the world history. Once upon a time while he was Kshatriya king, he visited the hermitage of Vasista Muni and he was given royal reception. Viswamitra wanted from Vasista a cow of the name Nandini, and the Muni refused to deliver it. He stole away the cow and thus there was a quarrel between the sage and the king.
